Since December 1, 2011, Parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents have a new option for visiting Canada. They may be eligible to apply for the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa and enjoy visiting their family in Canada for up to two years per visit without the need to renew a visa for up to ten years.

There are several requirements for this Super Visa program, including the need to prove that valid Canadian medical insurance coverage has been purchased for at least one year (Super Visa Medical Insurance), for the applicant.

We offer Super Visa Insurance, otherwise known as Super Visa Medical Insurance, Super Visa Health Insurance, or Visitors to Canada Insurance (and/or regular Travel Insurance Products) from RSA Travel Insurance (formerly etfs), Group Medical Services (GMS), Manulife Financial, RBC Insurance, SRMRM, Travel Underwriters, TIC Insurance, and Travel Guard, among others. All carriers offer the ability to obtain quotes and obtain your Super Visa Insurance, immediately and affordably direct from our website. Our Comparison Calculator allows for easy comparisons of rates and coverages from each carrier, on a side by side basis.

Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if you need assistance comparing the various carriers and making recommendation specific to your needs. We offer Super Visa medical Insurance from all major Canadian Insurance Companies that conform to the CICs Super Visa for Parents and Grandparents Program.

Please keep the following in mind:

• The coverage must be for a minimum of $100,000.
• The policy must have a minimum duration of one year.
• Refunds will be provided if you are unable to obtain a Visa for Entry to Canada (so long as the reason is beyond your control).
• If you leave Canada before one year is up, you can get a refund on the unused balance (so long as there are no pending claims and the balance owing is more than $25).
• We have plans available that COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS as well as those that DO NOT COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. The plans that cover pre-existing conditions only do so for those that are stable. Stable means that there is no change in medication, no pending tests from the doctor, no information from the doctor that anything has changed with respect to their pre-existing health condition.
• Deductibles can be used to save on the total premium. The discounts vary by carrier but are generally in the range of 5 - 20%.
• If you decide to stay for more than one year, then you will need to purchase a new policy 8 days before the expiry of the old policy.

Please contact us if you have additional questions or require assistance in obtaining quotes.
